Infection
Hazard
This is a hazard
that occurs when
an individual is
exposed to
infectious
organisms that re
found in
organizations
such as health
care facilities. In
health care
facilities, the
workers get
exposed to
infectious
Catastrophic
Includes fatality
or permanent
disability.
Infectious
diseases can
cause several
deaths within a
less period of
time.
Its effects can
also make
people disabled.

Such infections
must occur in
organizations
within one year.
For example,
infections
associated with
surgery have
been
increasingly
reported.

immediate
assessment with

consideration. A
detailed plan,
regular
monitoring and
reporting is
required with a
target resolution
within a
timeframe of a
month.
There are
various
measures that
are used to
prevent and
control the
spread of
infectious
hazards,
("Infection
Control," 2019).
The measures
include washing
of hands, use of

or carriers of the

then spread the
infection to other
members of staff
or patients.
These infections
are also called
nosocomial
infections. Some
of the infectious
organisms is
Methicillin –
resistant
staphylococcus
aureus. The
diseases from
infections
include Hepatitis
A, B and C,
Brucellosis,
contacts when
necessary in the
places of work,
prophylaxis of
the individuals
infected,
droplets and
airborne
precautions and
controlling the
vectors that
bring the
infections.
In health care
settings,
disinfection and
sterilization can
be used,
